Message:		I believe that neither the Israeli's (btw - I'm a Zionist) or the Palestinians can solve this problem on their own. (Sorry to sound like a broken record Ray), but I think the power to solve this is truly in the hands of the surrounding Arab/Muslim countries. I think if more of these countries then Egypt and Jordan would "normalize" relations with Israel, using a Palestinian state as a bargaining chip then momemtum would sway towards peace. This is partially what the Saudi's proposed a few years back, just before the wheels fell off. Israel needs to feel secure, and the Palestinians need their own state. Israel needs the Palestinians to have their own state (to maintain the Jewishness of Israel), and the Palestinians need Israel to feel secure (for their own safety and security). Neither side will get everything they want, and both sides need to accept that. Robby
